The Album Popularity Contest Thread

You're a prick. I just thought you should know that.

Go listen to some deathcore or something that will make your ears bleed, and leave the real music to those who still have their hearing intact.

What?

Pink Floyd are okay.
The albums up to Meddle are mostly good, the ones after that, but before The Wall, are pretty boring but with some good stuff here and there.
I mostly listen to a few select live recordings by them.

Hey, I've actually been enjoying a surprising amount of Yes, and even kinda didn't hate "Supper's Ready", but Pink Floyd are still completely beyond me besides a few songs. Every time I have to listen to a long song by them it's like torture. I swear to god, I hope whichever members are responsible for "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" get beaten up in an alley in front of their girlfriends.

I'm the reverse. I start from Meddle and after that everything is pretty much gold.

There may be hope for you yet. And still, you can listen to an album-long song by Sleep and not fall, you know, asleep. Have you listened to "Wish you were here"? The song, not the album. You'd really love "Echoes!"

Disclaimer: You would hate "Echoes"...

Dude, I don't really like Dopesmoker that much. I mean, I don't hate it, but an entire album of that is far too much to ask of me. And I'd take "Echoes" over "Shine On" any day, but I still don't care. And "Wish You Were Here" is on the radio far too much over here. It's not bad, but I have no particular desire to hear it again.

That's not bad. Guy even sounds like Anderson.

Where is all this prog coming from that you're listening to? Have I missed an opportunity to torture you?

The Batlord · 12-23-2015, 06:05 PM

For some strange reason the radio over hear likes Pink Floyd, but not a single other prog band besides Tool. None of the really prog songs, just "Money", "Another Brick in the Wall", "Comfortably Numb", "Time", and occasionally "Welcome to the Machine".

**Frownland** · 12-23-2015, 06:08 PM

Besides for Rush, I can't really think of any radio prog staples besides those two you mentioned. Yes is popular, but I never hear them on the radio.
